Why to reduce dwell time?

Trains often run late on main travel days à punctuality

Without changing schedule (same travel time): shorter dwell time à longer running time àlower velocity .

à potentials for saving energy

Influence – entrance

8

Main influence: Luggage causes troubles:

• when boarding the train • moving along in the train

• when storing

⇒ Aftereffect: Passengers behave the way, to reduce their own problems, but enlarge other passengers‘ or the

railway company‘s difficulties!

Influence/ whole boarding process

Dr. Bernhard Rüger / bernhard.rueger@tuwien.ac.at / DI. Doris Tuna / doris.tuna@tuwien.ac.at

9

Actual passenger behaviour

If it is possible somehow: à Luggage is stored on floor level à Luggage is stored nearby

Passengers want to • avoid lifting their luggage!

• have visual contact of their own luggage!

Aftereffect: • Luggage is stored on/ before seats, in the aisle, etc.

à Comfort restrictions à Lower number of actual available seats à Problems when moving along in a train

Average: 1 piece of luggage per passenger (0.6 one day trip; 1.2 holiday maker)

Trolley ~30­60% Travel bag ~10­30% Rucksack ~20­30%
